Leigh C.

Bonnie was very hands on with my sale. She made sure the house looked as well as any buyer could desire; she was there from the initial walk through with the inspector to the open houses. She worked closely with my stager and contractor to ensure every little detail was taken care of. Her marketing was also top notch, incorporating video and brochures to attract a wide audience. She responded by text to my questions within the hour. The result of all these efforts and teamwork was a great offer accepted and a a smooth sale. I couldn’t be happier with the offer we received.

Bonnie is a consummate pro! She’s got an excellent eye for construction quality (or lack thereof), and she’s a savvy and fair advisor and negotiator with strong relationships throughout the industry. She’s also passionate about history, and it’s been fun buying historic properties with her input.

I am delighted to take a few moments to recommend the Real Estate Agent, Bonnie Spindler. Bonnie has the experience and knowledge to be an extremely effective broker. The combination of her savvy and 30 + years of expertise in the real estate world means she is an outlier in her field. In addition, Bonnie is a delight to work with and her team is professional and efficient. Initially, Bonnie assisted my mother, siblings and I looking for a 1031 exchange property, north of San Francisco. My family picked Bonnie over other realtors, because of Bonnie’s personal knowledge of the 1031 exchange process. In addition to simply looking at potential exchange properties, she was also able to assist us with understanding the complicated financial and tax aspects of 1031 exchanges, which was tremendously helpful. After touring numerous properties, it also became clear that Bonnie puts service…

I am delighted to take a few moments to recommend the Real Estate Agent, Bonnie Spindler. Bonnie has the experience and knowledge to be an extremely effective broker. The combination of her savvy and 30 + years of expertise in the real estate world means she is an outlier in her field. In addition, Bonnie is a delight to work with and her team is professional and efficient. Initially, Bonnie assisted my mother, siblings and I looking for a 1031 exchange property, north of San Francisco. My family picked Bonnie over other realtors, because of Bonnie’s personal knowledge of the 1031 exchange process. In addition to simply looking at potential exchange properties, she was also able to assist us with understanding the complicated financial and tax aspects of 1031 exchanges, which was tremendously helpful. After touring numerous properties, it also became clear that Bonnie puts service above her bottom line. Bonnie had no hesitation with steering us away from properties that would be too cumbersome for our family to manage, even though that would mean additional work for her. It was during this 1031 exchange process that Bonnie also started helping me search for a property for my personal residence. Bonnie was generous with her time and was willing to show me the wildly diverse spectrum of properties that initially interested me. With her guidance, I found my dream property in about a week, and because of Bonnie’s quick actions and shrewd negotiation tactics, I found myself in contact within a few days and closing in just under 2 weeks. I am sure that if it was not for Bonnie’s expertise and professional guidance, my offer would not have been quickly ratified, as this occurred during a highly competitive time in the real estate market. In closing, it is without hesitation that I recommend Bonnie Spindler for any and all of your real estate needs.

I feel incredibly lucky to have found Bonnie and Lena as my real estate agents. As a first time buyer and having grown up on the east coast, deciding to buy my first home in the Bay Area was daunting. I can’t imagine how stressful it would have been without this team. Their local knowledge and expertise ensured my experience felt informed and curated from the start— and they paid attention to my needs and interests every step of the way. I found a beautiful home perfect for me well within the timeframe, parameters, and budget I set for myself. Bonnie and Lena helped me better understand the ins and outs of buying in SF, they helped me navigate finding a lender, they provided a solid recommendation for my insurance, and they negotiated on my behalf to get me exactly what I wanted. Without any hesitation I will recommend Bonnie and Lena for anyone looking to buy a home.

Professional and extremely knowledgeable about SF houses. Acted quickly to help us get our new home.

I can't imagine a more knowledgeable, hardworking and badass realtor to have in your corner than Bonnie! As someone who started her career fixing up and flipping houses, she has an intimate knowledge of what you are looking for in a good house. Every time we went to an Open House with Bonnie, we learned something new about foundations, or plumbing, or some awesome contractor. Shopping for houses with Bonnie is like going to a Homeowners 101 seminar! She is an unbelievable negotiator, too! We actually got our house for under market value (I know that sounds too good to be true in this crazy market, but it's no joke.) I also loved that she went through the disclosures with us line by line every time to make sure we really knew what we were signing up for. I can't recommend her enough.

David M.

I'm delighted to provide this extremely positive review of Bonnie Spindler and the spectacular work she performed on my behalf in connection with my purchase of a Marin County home in the autumn of 2021. When I first reached out to her, Bonnie graciously made time in her schedule to meet me the very next day. She showed me the home I was interested in (as well as others) and worked diligently and efficiently with me in writing and submitting an offer. When the sellers opted to accept a higher offer, and I thought the home would go to someone else, but Bonnie recommended I submit a backup, which the sellers eventually accepted. She also recommended a lender that gave me a competitive rate. She returned my texts and calls immediately.

Bonnie helped my brother and me sell our family home, a lovely Victorian on the edge of Cole Valley in San Francisco. From the moment she entered the home it was clear that she knew and loved working with Victorian homes. She recognized and could period place all the details, from molding to tile work. She was interested in the history of the house and the stories from its past. She combined these stories and her knowledge of history and architecture to paint a picture that captivated potential owners. Bonnie marketed the home to an extensive network. The web presence for the home was compelling and beautiful as were her print materials. She tirelessly showed the home to everyone who wanted to see it, guiding them through the experience in a way that helped people see the possibilities of the home. During the sale, she communicated clearly with me and helped guide difficult parts of the …

If you want an agent that is truly experienced, go to Bonnie! She knows her Victorians from her Edwardians and her galvanized steel pipes from her copper pipes! Her knowledge was astounding!! She’s also super honest, responsive and you’re going to love being around her!

Scott G.

I was connected with Bonnie through Zillow when requesting a showing on a house. She responded very quickly and went on to serve as my agent in my home search. I got a much better sense of the market from her and was able to negotiate a good price for the exact house I ended up deciding on. She was very helpful throughout the whole process (and continues to be after the closing).

Jonathan H.

Bonnie is quite simply a force of nature. She is constantly scanning the market for opportunities for her clients, and acts decisively on our behalf to make transactions happen. We have worked with Bonnie on four transactions over the past 17 years, and she has been a superb advisor, not only on properties, but on the acquisition process and the business of real estate investing. She understands inside an out the fine points of SF law and policy related to real estate. Add to this an infectious passion for San Francisco’s Victorians, and an irrepressible desire to connect the kindred spirits in her network!

Jane H.

I'm close to the end of an absolutely fantastic experience. I hired Bonnie to sell my apartment and help me buy a smaller one. Bonnie sold my place in less than a week and for so much more than I ever could have imagined. And while that was going on, she looked for a new home for me. She found the perfect one in my price range. Normally she handles larger sales, but I couldn't have asked for a better Realtor to sell my medium-sized apartment and to find a smaller one for me to buy. I would recommend her, and I have, to anyone who wants to sell their property, no matter what size it is.

Kea H.

My daughter first contacted Bonnie once we found a desirable listing in SF. We found Bonnie very knowledgeable of the homes in the Cole Valley or Corona Heights neighborhoods. She arranged a walk through quickly. The walk through took place in-person in a safe manner. Once we were ready to place a bid, her pricing advice was spot on. We were the second highest bid, and Bonnie helped advocate on our behalf to the sellers. I would highly recommend Bonnie without any reservations.

Elizabeth S.

Bonnie is incredibly knowledgeable about San Francisco real estate. She can walk through a home and tell you quickly where modifications have been made, whether there is dry rot, and why a particular block feels desirable while the neighboring block doesn't. She has an incredible work ethic and is a true believer in San Francisco real estate. She is also well known and respected by other San Francisco agents, which is really important in the current market.

Mike L.

I have worked with Bonnie for over 8 years now with finding 2 new homes and now a 3rd (as my family has grown). We continue to work with her for her because she not only cares about our needs but she brings top notch experience and diligence when helping us with selling and purchasing needs. We always recommend her to our friends as I know she will take care of them. She has never let us or our friends down.

Galin T.

Bonnie Spindler has been my agent for over 15 years. Some transactions have been easy, and others have extremely difficult. In every transaction though, she has proven to go above and beyond her role as an agent and every deal that I have involved her in has been positive. Her knowledge, experience and success has been a valuable asset in all my transactions. Thank You, Bonnie Spindler

Bonnie H.

Bonnie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She truly understands the market and is savvy about her marketing strategy. She has a pleasant personality and is professional and efficient. She knows when to move you along and when to hold your hand. I had the smoothest listing/selling process with her of all my previous selling experiences. I highly recommend her!

Alex L.

Bonnie recently helped us with the sale of our home in Pac Heights. She listened to our needs and executed the sale perfectly, leveraging her extensive network and unmatched expertise in SF real estate. We've worked with a number of agents in SF in the past and Bonnie really stands out. I'll be recommending her to all of our friends

Kathias

We couldn’t have asked for a better advocate while buying our house. Very knowledgeable about houses in SF. Bonnie was able to walk through with us and instruct us on what to watch out for, regarding things we wouldn’t have thought about, like septic, the potential for expansion, etc.

Mark R.

Bonnie is an amazing, knowledgeable San Francisco Real Estate Agent. I personally have successfully completed multiple transactions since 1996 with Bonnie Spindler representing me both on the Listing / Buyer side. Five stars!

Nils R.

Bonnie put together a very effective listing strategy, which included coordinating a beautiful staging of the entire property. In the end we received multiple offers and closed at a price well beyond our expectations.

Ganesh V.

We worked with Bonnie while buying our home and Bonnie helped us through a very difficult purchase process. We even purchased the place for lower than the ask price in the seller’s market!

L. Ponticas

Bonnie is a terrific agent. She really knows San Francisco and the best way to look at a property, whether as a home or investment. With places that needed work, her experience came in handy when trying to see past the thorns to the beauty of the rose. We most appreciated her balance of the knowledge, pragmatism, and optimism, most helpful when dealing with the stress of finding something in the Bay Area, and then actually closing not sure which stress is worse.

B. Goodell

Bonnie is incredible! We are so fortunate to have met her. Her knowledge of the SF market is unparalleled, particularly when it comes to Victorians. Bonnie has a great eye for details and can quickly assess a property’s condition down to the foundation. She is patient, extremely trustworthy, and tenacious about fighting for her client- all important qualities in a realtor. I can’t recommend her enough!

Robin P.

Just bought my first house and Bonnie Spindler made it seamless and joyous! With Bonnie’s help, my bid was competitive with the extra personal touch that gave results! Bonnie Spindler’s referrals are A+ and I loved working with each vendor. Bonnie’s laugh is memorable, she is delightful to work with. Most importantly I have a home.

Buyer & Seller

Working with Bonnie and Sandra was a great experience. we met with them both in April and toured our home, we had an instant connection and her knowledge of all details of our circa 1885 Italianate Victorian was incredible. We decided to re-do our kitchen and baths prior to listing which of course took longer than anyone expected and threw us off our listing date; Bonnie was very patient with us (I only mention that, because we’ve worked with some agents that have gotten cranky). Bonnie sold our house in less than a week, with an all cash, no contingency, 20% over asking offer. She also negotiated the purchase of our new home, also a circa 1885 Queen Anne Victorian for 20% below asking. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Buyer & Seller

Bonnie has listed and sold properties for me in San Francisco for the past 10 years. I was extremely happy with service I received from Bonnie with both transactions. She has a thorough understanding and knowledge of the Real Estate market in San Francisco. Bonnie was able to negotiate a purchase price I was very satisfied with when I bought a property. And she was able to sell a property for me at a very high price due to her excellent marketing skills.

Buyer | Seller

Bonnie is an expert. This would be the simplest and most general statement I could share with you all. I have been so impressed with her knowledge of the community, the architecture, and the hidden aspects of the city (SF) that we live in. When meeting with Bonnie, the mood is relaxed. I was very thankful for this. Thanks for your expertise and your smile the whole way through.

Seller

We had to find and buy a condo in San Francisco on a short time schedule in 2013. Bonnie helped us find several potential candidates, and with her guidance in bidding, we managed to land the winning bid on our favorite property on the first try.
